Genomicus is a genome browser that enables users to navigate in genomes in several dimensions: linearly along chromosome axes, transversaly across different species, and chronologicaly along evolutionary time.

Once a query gene has been entered, it is displayed in its genomic context in parallel to the genomic context of all its orthologous and paralogous copies in all the other sequenced metazoan genomes. Moreover, Genomicus stores and displays the predicted ancestral genome structure in all the ancestral species within the phylogenetic range of interest.

All the data on extant species displayed in this browser are from Ensembl.

What's new in version 90.01 ?

Version 90.01 of Genomicus stores data from Ensembl release 90

This version offers users two new display functionalities (accessible directly from the icons below):

A multi-genomes comparison function, where multiple ancestral and modern karyotype can be compared.

A synteny block calculator: to display and export lists of synteny blocks computed by PhylDiag 2.0, as described in Lucas et al., BMC Bioinformatics 2014 and Lucas and Roest Crollius, PloS One 2017.
